Apart from Your question about performance speed, You should let us
know _what_ You want to do. There are many ways of sharing data, but
if You have to decide about the "best way", this really depends on
Your specific situation. - If any of Your shares will ever make it to
the "wild" (i.e., internet), none of the protocols above should ever
be used.

You say that You have three clients plus one switch on 1G, so why not
go testing for Yourself and tell us?

But I wasn't being unpolite, and to answer Your question: AFAIK, there
is no way to tweak the daemons in question better on the command line
than most GUI config tools do (which I never used, I must admit).
But it is always a good idea to review the GUI-tool generated files
to see what they really did to Your config. - Unless any braindead
options are activated, no, You should see those services at best
performance once You start them. Again, I recommend reconsidering un-
encrypted sharing, no matter what. On a 1G network, the process of
encrypting data may become significant depending on the hardware in
use, allright, but most people here would value security over speed.

Anyways, please think about this and come back, Jack.
